  • Publication number: 20240389016
    Abstract: A method at a sensor module within a sensor system for communicating with a gateway, the method including storing a timing profile for communications with the gateway; waking a radio core of the sensor module at a threshold time prior to a beacon signal being expected from the gateway; sampling a channel for the beacon signal at the radio core; if the beacon signal is detected: waking a processor on the sensor module; exchanging communication with the gateway; and powering down the processor and radio core upon completion of the exchanging communication.

  • Publication number: 20240362444
    Abstract: A system and method for capturing media and for printing the captured media onto an article of merchandise. The system includes a mobile application that overlays one or more print dielines corresponding to the printable areas of one or more types of merchandise onto an associated camera display. In this way, the system provides, prior to the capturing of the photograph, a visual indication of the subject matter within the photograph (e.g., within the overlaid print dielines) that will be cropped and printed onto the merchandise. As such, a user may properly arrange the subject matter of the photograph (e.g., people) within the print dieline prior to capturing the photograph. The system subsequently communicates the portion of the photograph within the print dieline to a printing system to print the portion onto the merchandise. The system derives the print dielines from graphic files that correspond to the merchandises' printable areas.

  • Patent number: 12033496
    Abstract: In some examples, a system detects an accident involving a first vehicle, where the detecting is based on an accident indication received by the service over a network from a second vehicle not involved in the accident, the second vehicle different from the first vehicle, and where the accident indication from the second vehicle is responsive to messages received by the second vehicle from other vehicles. In response to the detecting of the accident, the system verifies that the accident occurred by sending, from the service, queries to a roadside unit and a third vehicle, and receiving, at the service, responses to the queries from the roadside unit and the third vehicle, the responses containing event data collected by the roadside unit and the third vehicle of events in a vicinity of the accident.

  • Publication number: 20240187974
    Abstract: In some examples, in response to determining that a new communication channel is required, a wireless device retrieves information provided from a network node of availability of alternative communication channels for the wireless device. In response to retrieving information that a second communication channel is available for a location within which the wireless device is located, the wireless device removes wireless device specific information and initiates a request to connect to the second communication channel, where the second communication channel is in a frequency range different from a frequency range of the first communication channel.
